The app keeps crashing which is really frustrating because it doesn't save the changes you've just made. Also, there isn't an option to edit the photos once uploaded. For example, I wish there was an option to crop or change the orientation of the uploaded pictures. Both of these things really let the app down which is a shame as it's so easy to create and the end result looks amazing!

Great app! Love the shuffle option to find the perfect layout for the photo selection. The only thing I would have liked would be the option to add a single photo caption under individual photos instead of having to dedicate a whole page to text. If I had that, I would add a fifth star :-) Also, the option to pay in € would be nice. But really, the app is great and very simple to use! Thanks!

Good app. Would be great if there was an in-app photo editor (e.g. crop/rotate, filters, brightness, contrast etc). Also, found the layout options a bit limited - would help to have a 'layout library' not just shuffle, and not automatically expand a photo to take the whole page, + enable text on the same page as photos.
